Description

This project involves some minor reverse engineering work on a Windows game client. The game client is an executable, not web- or flash-based.

I need a code module that will extract data from a custom listview-type control in the game client’s lobby. The data should be returned as a text/character array – I will handle any database work.

Note: This project is NOT about cheating, stealing or hacking. It is about efficiently extracting publicly available data from the game client.

C#.NET preferred, VB.NET also acceptable. The goal of the project is not only finished code, but also helping me understand how it works, so good documentation/explanation is critical.

The code module should use the win32 API. If any tools you don’t own or didn’t personally develop (open-source or otherwise) are necessary to use along with your code module, they must be freely available AND approved by me in advance.

For privacy reasons, the name of the game site is not disclosed here. PM for name of site and more details.

Follow-up work may be available.

Legal notice: By bidding on this project you agree that the project (and any related work) is a “work for hire.” Any resulting work product (including source code and documentation) is solely the property of the project originator (me). In return for the agreed project payment, you give up any copyright or other intellectual property rights in the work product.

We are very experienced in data scraping from sites. We have scraped data from following sites for our satisfied clients. www.realtors.org, (information about realtors) www.craiglist.org (email addresses of members) http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com (information about leagues) www.ebay.com (information about open and closed auction against given users) www.ebay.com (information about the bidders like name, bid amount, bid date and time). http://www.4ni.co.uk/ (information about businesses). The information about UK Surgeons . And scraped the results of different search engines (www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, www.msn.com, www.amazon.com ) against a query. We have developed the tools in C#.Net to scrap data from sites and we have also written scripts in Perl to grab data and save data in CSV file (comma delimited or tab delimited file format).

Hehe. I know how to make it. I've done many projects with external process data extraction. And last one was with ListView data manipulation(extraction and modifying). Wait for your answer.
